In the presence of a transverse magnetic field, shocks propagating in the interstellar medium may be categorized as (1) jump (J)-type without a precursor, (2) J-type with a precursor, or (3) continuous (C)-type. Category (2) has been the subject of only limited study in the literature owing to the lack of an efficient numerical method for the computation of the structure of such shocks. A method is presented here which enables solutions for category (2) shocks to be found from an initial value problem. The method is straightforward to apply and computationally efficient. Results are given for a selection of illustrative models, both excluding and including a network of chemical reactions. The observational relevance of category (2) shocks is also mentioned.
